What we paint
- Building façades: rendered, concrete, masonry and painted brick exteriors.
- High-rise apartment buildings: full repaints and section repaints on strata buildings.
- Commercial buildings: offices, education and mixed-use buildings.
- Balconies, window frames and edges: the areas that are hardest to reach from inside.
- Protective and waterproofing coatings: where the surface needs more than a decorative finish.
Preparation decides how long paint lasts
Most early paint failure comes down to preparation, not the paint. Before painting we:
- Pressure wash the façade to remove dirt, salt and loose material.
- Repair cracks and spalling, and treat exposed steel where needed (concrete repairs).
- Replace failed sealant around windows and joints.
- Prime repaired areas, then apply the specified paint system.
Because our team does painting and remedial work, these steps happen in one program with one contractor, instead of separate trades each setting up access.
Why abseiling painting
- Less setup: ropes are rigged from the roof, so the work starts sooner and finishes cleaner.
- Less disruption: footpaths, car parks and entries stay open with managed exclusion zones.
- Reach anywhere on the façade: recessed areas, light wells and tall elevations.
- Inspect as we go: our painters see every part of the wall up close and report defects with photos.
Project: TAFE Ultimo
Six months of rope access work on a multi-storey building at TAFE Ultimo: anchor points, pressure washing, façade repairs and painting. The painting carries a 5-year warranty, in line with the paint manufacturer’s inspection and warranty conditions.

Painting from ropes starts with certified roof anchors. We inspect, certify and install anchor points before work starts, and can schedule high-rise window cleaning once the repaint is finished.
